ACTION: EXPLOSION, On the trail of Russian spies in Vrbětice

Join Czech Radio on the trail of the Russian agents who carried out the attacks on the ammunition depots in Vrbětice in 2014. Two people died in the explosions and over a thousand local residents were forced to evacuate their homes. Czech Radio has uncovered previously unknown details of the largest espionage operation on Czech territory and obtained an exclusive interview with the lead investigator, who opened up about the case for the first time.

The reporters interviewed dozens of people: local residents, affected businessmen, firefighters, the bomb squad, police officers and politicians. They spoke with the head of the National Center against Organized Crime (NCOZ), Jiří Mazánek, the director of the BIS secret service, Michal Koudelka, the former president Miloš Zeman and the current president, Petr Pavel.

Presented by: Vojtěch Koval, Artur Janoušek
